Apparently, contract talks between Hulk Hogan and the WWE are in dire straits. In a radio interview today (The Bubba the Love Sponge radio show), Hulk Hogan revealed that you probably won't be seeing him or his Mr. America persona in the WWE any longer. He is planning on heading to Japan.
This is not the first time that Hogan has left on short notice, back in November he wanted to face Brock Lesnar and he wanted to win the title, but Vince didn't agree.
Also Hogan has used this radio show to work the fans over before.
-
nope, its true, he quit
he was pissed of the fact that in last weeks smackdown, he was the third biggest babyface, and in his match kurt & brock didnt tag him in when the fans were chanting his name
also he was angry with the fact that at this point in his career, he feels his regular appearances should be pushed like PPV's since he wont be around much longer, and the fact that smackdown is the losing show, he doesnt like being on a losing show

Raw is better maybe he should just move to raw

hes a greedy twat

thanx god he's gone... never liked mr america
-
this was long overdue. never come back.

There is a good chance that Hogan might ne coming back because he does want to be a part of Wrestle Mania XX.

It sucks they couldn't come to an agreement. It's been a fragile relationship the whole time, anyways. He never signed a contract, all of these were just player deals under the table since he came back to the WWE. Him and Vince would hammer out some stuff for a few months, then again, then again, etc. Plus, he's already been gone 2 other times since he came back, lol. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a few months doing something different. It comes down to this; Vince does it with all the big names... they want something, he won't give it, eventually he gets stale for ideas and thinks bringing them back would be a good idea, so he caves in. Hogan probably wanted the belt or something. He was just gone for about 6 months a couple months ago; then came back as Mr. America. I'm confident he'll still be wrestling into his 60's, so that's at least 15 more years we've got of him.

well, he got fired on smackdown!, they showed footage of him removing the mask

^^ This furthers my belief that there are 2 opinions on everything, and most people agree with 50% of everybody else, LOL. The same people that hate the u.s. hate hulk hogan, the same people that love the u.s. love hulk hogan, etc. etc. etc.
-
1. i live in the us
2. i love the us
3. i hate hogan
therefore your belief holds no weight. thank you for your time.

Pardon? If you notice:
a) I love the US.
b) I listed Hogan as one of my all time favourite wrestlers.
I just think Mr America was a character being used to incite racism in ignorant fools and impressionable children, just like La Resistance are.

As we reported yesterday, Hogan has left WWE for a least the time being because of several things over the past few months that have upset him. It varies from things such as his WrestleMania payoff being much lower than anticipated to the current creative direction of his character.
Hogan had a creative meeting with Vince McMahon prior to the June 12 Smackdown and has been telling various people in the company that Vince has lost his touch with the fans.
sook it up hogan :'(

Hate their corrupt government
Don't like Hulk Hogan. He's embarassing.
-
Look how things have changed within the last couple of months. It wasn't that long ago that Hogan said he said happy with his situation in to WWE and he said he wanted to finish he career in the WWE.

Remember when they went to Kuwait and Vader was on a TV show and they asked him if wrestling is fake and he slapped the guy lol
-
Don't remember that but Vader is wrestling in Japan now where they take it very seriously over there.

Jog your memory

KUWAIT (AP) -- A World Wrestling Federation star known as Vader was convicted of assault Tuesday for attacking a Kuwaiti TV host who had asked if the matches were staged.
The wrestler -- Leon White of Boulder, Colo. -- also was convicted of insulting the host, and was ordered to pay a $166 fine, said lawyer Ibrahim al-Athary, who represented Kuwait Television host Bassam al-Othman. The maximum penalty could have been one year in prison.
White was in Kuwait in April for five days of matches. He grabbed al-Othman by the tie, shoved him backwards and used obscene language after being asked during a live interview if professional wrestling matches were fake.
White was represented by a Kuwaiti law firm. His lawyers said they could not comment until they had read the verdict.
Al-Athary said al-Othman still may sue for compensation in another court.
